According to Osho, the Zen saint’s belly is not fatness but a sign that he lives from the hara—the belly center—through natural, relaxed breathing. When breath sinks to the belly, energy settles, the mind’s habits break, and awareness flowers. Such centered breathing opens strange, liberating inner states you can enter and leave consciously, giving grounded freedom and ease.
It shows he breathes naturally from his tummy, staying steady, peaceful, and awake inside.
